This is frequently asked on this list, and the answer is always the
same: yes, the -O<N> flag does more than just enable a series of -f<foo>
flags. Said another way, there are optimizations that do *not* have
-f<foo> flags that control them, they are enabled by directly checking
the value supplied to the -O flag, and they cannot be directly controlled.
